Tutorials

It’s almost every project that I learn something new or find a new way of doing something. But most of the time I find that I eventually forget how I did those nifty new things. So I decided to start writing down the methods I come up with so that I can reference them in the future.

But I decided to write them up as tutorials just for something different.

The following working examples that I’ve decided to put up here for whomever comes across them. Some are original ideas I had while others I’ve found on the net in various places. I make no claim to have created these before anyone else nor do I claim to state that this is the “right” way to do such things. They just work for me.

They are broken up into categories and placed where I think appropriate. From time to time I will add something new, update and/or change old ones or even get rid of them if I feel they are no longer valid.

Each of these load outside of the blog and should validate as Strict XHTML.
